Pakistan vs Australia 2nd Test Preview

 


Tomorrow the 2nd test between Pakistan and Australia will begin at the National Stadium Karachi. Pakistan and Australia have both prepared and are ready.

Australia have even revealed their starting eleven and Swepson will debut for Australia tomorrow. A leg spinner will play for Australia after a very long time and it will be interesting to see what the spin twin combo of Lyon and Swepson bring to the playing field on a Karachi pitch that is expected to offer more assistance for the spinners.

Pakistan is also expected to make two changes to their starting eleven from the previous game. Hasan Ali and Faheem Ashraf are expected to come in place of Naseem Shah and Iftikar Ahmed. I would like to see Pakistan be a bit more attacking and play a leg spinner in Zahid Mahmood. Especially if a spin-friendly wicket is being prepared then Pakistan should play 3 spinners and go for the kill. I don't think they should play Faheem in this game.

Pakistan Predicted XI: 1 Imam-ul-Haq 2 Abdulla Shafiq 3 Azhar Ali 4 Babar Azam (c) 5 Fawad Alam 6 Mohammed Rizwan (wk) 7 Nauman Ali 8 Hasan Ali 9 Sajid Khan 10 Zahid Mahmood 11 Shaheen Shah Afridi

SA20 review

 The SA20 season 2 has ended with Sunrisers Eastern Cape successfully defending their title to win back-to-back titles. The Sunrisers were the team to beat as they played an excellent brand of cricket and dominated throughout the tournament winning 7 matches and losing 2 with 1 no result to top the table in the league stage.  The final of SA20 season 2 was played by the 2 best teams of the tournament the Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Durban Super Giants. Sunrisers proved too good for Super Giants beating them by 89 runs to not only successfully defend their SA20 title but also win the head-to-head between the 2 teams 3-1.  SA20 season 2 saw some unbelievable performances with quite a few young South African players taking the opportunity and shining.

Proteas vs West Indies 1st test review

Protea's new era started off very well as they scored 314-8 on day 1 of the first test of this series. The day started with Proteas winning the toss and choosing to bat first. The Proteas got off to a great start as Elgar and Markram batted through too Lunch as they put together an opening Partnership of 99 in the morning session.  The afternoon session was again dominated by Proteas as a further 107 added for the loss of 1 wicket. The wicket that fell during the afternoon session was that of Elgar for a well-played 71 off 118.  Markram and the debutant De Zorzi then continued to bat untroubled as they put together a partnership of 78 off 127 before De Zorzi ran himself out and this triggered a collapse by Proteas as they lost 7 wickets in the last session of the day.  The Proteas were still able to score as they scored a further 108 runs in the last session. The West Indies had made a good comeback by Stumps Day 1.  The Proteas would add another 28 runs before being...
